Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Costa Rica kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Francisco Calvo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.

  • 51' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
